Respiratory Service Framework Asthma and COPD Care (Nursing) Project Learning and Development Strategy

Service frameworks are defined as being measurable, evidence–based standards which are the product of a process of engagement with HSC staff, service users and the public. Each Framework will follow the individual’s journey, from prevention through to end-of-life care, taking account of all aspects of health and social care providing an opportunity to promote evidence-informed practice with a focus on safe and effective care. Template for the Development of Service Frameworks for Health and Social Care Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, 2007.

What is a Service Framework?  Explicit standards on prevention, treatment and care  “Quality requirements” supporting the standards  Specific timeframe years and revision process  Capable of measurement/comparative data  Linked to the HSC quality standards and other policy, documents and guidance  Applicable to both adults and children  Follow a life cycle approach  Developed in collaboration with the HSC and public.

Overarching Standard All people suspected of having COPD should have accurate assessment, diagnosis and management in Primary Care. Rationale COPD should be prevented where possible, but, as a minimum, disease progression should be slowed down or avoided by early diagnosis and optimal management in keeping with the most up to date evidence based guidelines. Evidence  National Institute for Clinical Excellence (2004) Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults in primary and secondary care. National Institute of Clinical Excellence: London  Strategic Framework for Respiratory Conditions (N. Ireland), Responsibility for delivery / implementation HSC Trusts Primary Care Quality Dimension 1.All patients older than 35 years, with past/present smoking history, and presenting with exertional breathlessness, chronic cough, regular sputum production, frequent winter bronchitis or wheeze should have spirometry performed. 2.All patients with a diagnosis of COPD should have an assessment and review according to NICE guidelines 3.All patients suspected of or diagnosed with COPD should have their smoking history recorded and be given appropriate advice about smoking cessation and specialist smoking cessation services.
